The art of pie...

I am a busy person. I always have been, and I think I always will be. I have a very large capacity for "stuff' in my life, and I handle stress very well. However, every once in a while, I feel the need for relaxation and rejuvenation. This entire week I have felt the need for a "me" day, and today I finally was able to have one.
I love to bake, but I never have time to, so for my "me" day I decided to bake 3 pies and choose three of my friends to give them to. So, I woke up around 11 this morning, went for a run, ate lunch and then preceded to make my very yummy pumpkin chiffon pies. I was excited to make this particular type of pie because of the memories surrounding it. I used to make this type of pie with my Nana every year at thanksgiving, but since moving away to college, I haven't made it in awhile. I smiled to myself through each step of the pie process, remembering the time spent with my Nana on Thanksgivings past...
The pies turned out great! And I think I will make more next Saturday!

There is something about baking that just makes me feel so creative. I kinda get in this zone, and feel a sense of humble invincibility. The art of pie is that I can make it however I want to, and I know that it will be thoroughly enjoyed by anyone who partakes of it. What a great day I have had!
